Inspired by the artist Andy Goldsworthy, Year 5 pupils at EPS, have been getting creative by  making works of art. 

At Beulah, we have had the privilege of having Ms Smythe support our gymnastics lessons this half term. 

In EPS Nursery this week, we have been reading The Gingerbread Man.

Years 5 and 6 were treated to a very informative presentation by Natalie from the Idling Project, an initiative which aims to teach everyone about the impact of idling cars on air pollution.

In nursery last week, the children were reading The Gingerbread Man.

In a news story last year I wrote about the ongoing work to revitalise the Cypress Woodlands that surround the Lower School site in order to bring them back into use and make them more attractive to wildlife. 

Year 3 have been inspired by the art of both Frida Kahlo’s to create our self-portraits and Vincent van Gogh’s impressionist style to create beautiful seascapes as a backdrop to our poems.

This half-term we are working hard to develop our oracy skills; we have been thinking about oracy carefully and have decided that good listening skills are a prerequisite to good speaking skills.

We’ve had a great week at Cypress Lower School.  Children in Reception have been reading ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson this week and have enjoyed re-telling the story. 

The children in Little Cypress have had another fun-packed week, despite the sometimes rather uninspiring weather!

We arrived at Nursery on Monday morning this week to find some mysterious foot prints on the carpet! 

Following the success of the Whitehorse Year 5 and 6 Indoor Athletics Team at the qualifying event in December, the team attended the finals event on Wednesday to compete against the other qualifying schools. 

Y5 have had a superb day today! The day didn’t start off as we had planned as we have had to reschedule our workshop, but that didn’t stop the children having lots of of Viking fun!

Happy New Year to all of our Cypress families!  We hope you have had a restful holiday. 

Giles Andreae is our author for this half term. He began writing when he was at primary school.
